Our Farmers Market runs every Saturday from 9am - 3pm, from April to October. It's a great place to grab a breakfast (try the crepes!) or lunch (wood fired artisan pizza). You'll also find gorgeous local produce, honey, cheese and the best bread in the world from the Breadfarm Bakery (try the Samish Potato loaf).
